Morphology

volumize = volume (transparent) = volume + ize

The verb is transparently built from 'volume' (fullness) with the productive suffix '-ize' meaning 'to make fuller'.

Etymology

Volumize comes from volume + -ize, where volume means 'size' or 'fullness' and -ize means 'make', just like in voluminous. So to volumize hair or fabric is to 'make it fuller' or thicker.
